 The Global Development Learning Network (GDLN)
China Global Development Learning Network
Global Development Learning Network (GDLN) The GDLN is a worldwide partnership of Distance Learning Centers (DLCs). Its unique facilities offer the opportunity for on-time and cost-effective information exchange, knowledge sharing, coordination, consultation, training, and dialogues to organizations, groups, teams and individuals that work to contribute to sustainable development and the reduction of poverty in the developing world.
Through Distance Learning Centers (DLCs) affiliated with GDLN it is possible to bring together development practitioners and experts at an unprecedented level - to share their experiences and learn from each other as they design and implement ambitious reform and change programs in developing countries. By eliminating the need for experts and practitioners to travel, training or other forms of knowledge exchange do not need to be delivered in a concentrated period of time. This gives more time and flexibility for participants to read more background material; prepare real, rather than simulated assignments related to their actual work; and to learn with their own (local) colleagues as a team. Back to top China Global Development Learning Network The Beijing Global Development Learning Network (GDLN) Center was established in 2000 in the World Bank Office in Beijing. In 2002, with support of the World Bank and DFID, China Western Development Distance Learning Network (CDDLN) was established and inaugurated into operation in 2005 under the leadership of the Western Region Development Office of the State Council in China (WRDO). In 2007, CDDLN entered into a MOU with the World Bank for the membership of GDLN. Currently CDDLN's network includes 1 management hub (including a videoconferencing bridge) based at China Economic Information Center (CEI) in Beijing, and 11 DL Distance Learning Centers (DLCs). Most of the DLCs are located in the poorer western provinces and aim to help development and poverty reduction in those areas using the information technology to promote distance education and training as well as information and knowledge dissemination. Such an initiative is particularly important as China is rapidly evolving to a position of leadership and influence as a knowledge partner. The 1 Beijing Management Hub and the11 CDDLN DLCs are hosted and managed by: China Economic Information Network DLC---Beijing Management Hub of CDDLN Guizhou Provincial Party's School/Administrative College --- Guizhou DLC Inner Mongolia Party's School/Administrative College --- Inner Mongolia DLC Sichuan Provincial Party's School/Administrative College --- Sichuan DLC Gansu Provincial Administrative College --- Gansu DLC Qinghai Provincial Administrative College --- Qinghai DLC Xinjiang Autonomous Regional Administrative College --- Xinjiang DLC Guangxi Provincial Personnel Department --- Guangxi DLC School of Network Education of Ningxia University --- Ningxia DLC Chongqing Technology and Business University --- Chongqing DLC Xi'an University of Architecture and Technology --- Shaanxi DLC Yunan University --- Yunan DLC Shanghai National Accounting Institute --- Shanghai DLC
CDDLN has also reached cooperation agreements with the Asia-Pacific Finance and Development Center DLC located at the Shanghai National Accounting Institute, and with the distance learning network of China Development Bank, with 35 centers across China. Meanwhile, starting in 2008, CDDLN has been expanding its Network through a Phase-two project financed by the Chinese government, including the construction and establishment of about 50 sub-Distance Learning Centers at prefecture-level in western region provinces. It's expected to be completed by early 2009. __________________________________________ BeijingManagement Hub of CDDLN ChinaEconomic Information Network Distance Learning Center No. 3, Fuxing Road, Xicheng District, Beijing Postal Code: 100038 Tel: (86 10) 63287337, 63286337 Fax: (86 10) 6328 7767 Contact: Mr. Jingyi Cui E-mail: cjy@mx.cei.gov.cn Contact: Mr. Xiangming Zhang E-mail: xmzhng@mx.cei.gov.cn ________________________________________ Guizhou DistanceLearning Center Guizhou Provincial Party's School/Administrative College Tongmu Ling, Huaxi District, Guiyang Postal Code: 550028
